A mixed multimedia opus about mixed identities, whether they be racial, generational, national, or gendered. An emotional history lesson that’s also a window on human potential. Dance, animation, archival footage, painting, video testimonials, Zadie Smith quotes, text conversations, spoken word poetry, performance art of the filmmaker covered in a colour-changing membrane as if encrusted in a chameleonic crème brûlée – these are just a few of the methods used to detail and deconstruct cycles of prejudice.
